Onde ver o Southern African Hedgehog na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Southern African Hedgehog at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Addo Elephant National Park, Marakele National Park, Golden Gate Highlands National Park and Mokala National Park and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Southern African Hedgehog is most recorded in Gauteng (37% of records), Northern Cape (28% of records), Limpopo (15% of records), based on 112 iNaturalist observations. 68 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Southern African Hedgehog on site or nearby.

The Southern African Hedgehog is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Addo Elephant National Park: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
